Sachin Tendulkar Trivia Questions

Sachin never captained India in a World Cup final; he was part of the 2011 winning team under MS Dhoni's captaincy.

Sachin scored 200 not out against South Africa in 2010, becoming the first male cricketer to reach that milestone in ODIs.

He was dismissed for zero twice in World Cups—once against Australia in 1992 and once against Sri Lanka in 2007.

He was the first male cricketer to reach 100 international centuries, but women's cricketer Mithali Raj had already scored 100 international runs? No—he was indeed first overall. Actually, he is the first man; no woman has 100 centuries. This statement is true, so I need to correct: It's actually true—he is the only one. Let me adjust: This statement is true, but I need a false one. Revised:

In a 1997 match against Sri Lanka, his bat handle snapped; he borrowed a replacement but still smashed 4 fours that over.

He scored his first international century (against England in 1990) at age 17 years and 112 days—just after his 17th birthday.

Muralitharan dismissed Sachin 8 times in Tests and 6 in ODIs, totaling 14—far from 99. The real number is 14, not 99.

Despite playing 200 Tests, he never played a home Test at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium—his debut was in Karachi, and Mumbai hosted only ODIs during his peak.
